Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

We have had many discussions/arguments over tekton speakers in the past, mainly involving a couple posters who thought their $4000 tektons sounded better than the highest price Wilson’s and other high budget speakers.

In the latest Stereophile magazine, they did a review of the $30,000 tekton’s. In this Steteophile issue, they rate these $30,000 tekton’s as class B. When you look at the other speakers that are in the class B section, you will notice most of these speakers range in price from $5000-$8000. So it looks like you have to spend $30,000 on a pair of tekton’s to equal a pair of $5000 Klipsch Forte IV’s sound quality. 
If I compare these $30,000 class B tekton’s, to some of the class A speakers, there are some class A speakers for 1/2 the price (Dutch & Dutch 8C, Goldenear triton reference), or other class A speakers that are cheaper (Magico A5, Kef blade 2).

@tektondesign ,

I was in no way denigrating your products as I've never heard them. I was pointing out the fact that there is a more subtle, classier way to get your point across.

Also, the word you are looking for is 'libel', not 'slander'. And that word is only applicable to deliberately false information being spread here, not opinion.

I hope this helps to make your future posts a bit more tame. You as a business owner-unfortunately- don't have the luxury of petty tit for tat nonsense. You have to give the impression of being above it. Anything else would be a detriment to your business and you personally.

When my Moab Be get’s compared to a $26K Magico A5 and the $27K Kef Blade 2 it’s obvious that my business model and background is overlooked and misunderstood. Question... how is a Magico A5 or a Kef Blade 2 going to go fare with my budget priced $5200 Tekton Moab?! One is going to sound big and exciting and the other two are going be something else entirely.

If we are going by sonics alone, some of the rinse/repeat/rehash & market for snob appeal type of brands are not your real competitors. Your real competitors are guys who’ve produced stunning sonics at shows, etc at rather reasonable prices (Borresen, Mofi, etc), i.e., the other "disruptors" perhaps.

IME, and as a former end-user of some of your product, the anticipated sonic advantages of some of your designs wasn’t entirely there in comparison to some competitor product. You may accept the notion that there is always room for improvement (it isn’t all figured out already), if you perceive that engineering is a life long process of learning/improving things.

@MOFOJO, google 'Review Tekton Moab BE" and see what you get.  Beryllium drivers are very expensive.  Not sure if they are worth the price.

I don't need to read more of your words. I bet there are many here just tired tired tired of your broken record comments. You have so much time on your hands that you're lucky to be patronized.
